Celebrities get a lot of heat when they speak out politically. Unless they're Republicans. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger (now a Governor), Ronald Reagan (Republican deity), Sonny Bono (I don't know, he was something), or the other megawatt stars who support John McCain like. . .um, Janine Turner?
So, when people say that entertainers should just sing, or just act, and leave the politics out of it, they are clearly speaking to left-leaning celebrities. But why do we care what celebrities think, anyway? I don't know, but they do have an effect. There's something very cool about seeing Kathryn Joosten--"Mrs. Landingham" on The West Wing and "Karen McCluskey" on Desperate Housewives--forcefully speaking out for gay rights, and her gay friends. Classy lady.
